If you’re one of the 50 million people in the northeast currently under a blizzard or storm watch, chances are you’re trying to stock up on goods at the grocery store.
Unfortunately, you’re not the only one who’s trying to buy snacks in bulk before two feet of snow hit. Grocery stores are pretty chaotic right now and we’ve got the pictures to prove it:

People have already observed some crazy things in line at their respective stores:
Trader Joe's pre-blizzard is not for the faint of heart. Just dodged a box of Joe Joe's hurled by a human who was cut in line #blizzard2017

Certain model citizens even tweeted about what was missing from their stores:
@rachsyme Whole Foods TriBeCa has been emptied of all brussel sprouts

Good luck #blizzard2017 survivors. Whole Foods Gowanus was even sold out of coconut milk last night...

Stay safe in the storm. And if you can, head to a bodega.
